A Journalists Presence of Mind.
Buffalo Courier.

They tell story of local newspaper man
that illustrates his presence of mind even
under the most trying circumstances. He
was awakened in hotel one night by cry
of "fire," and in one spring and two move
ments was out of bed and in the hall, which
was filed with smoke. Just ahead OF him
was flying figure, clad in white like himself
and running at a 210 clip. A turn in the
hall and two steps leading to a higher level
the same cause precipitated the newspaper

l. A special meeting of the Windham asso- citation of Congregational ministers assem- bled Wednesday morning to consider charges of hersy preferred by several mem bers of the association against Rev. s. R. Free, who Is supplying the Congregation al church at Willimantic The charges are First, that Mir. Free does not be- lieve the Bible to be the inspired work of God in a sense entirely different from oth- CT books, and teaches that portions are myths; second, that he rejects the theory of vicarious sacrifices of Christ third, that he does not teach the doctrine of the Trinity; fourth, that he does not teach that Christ was both God and man fifth, that he does not teach that the Holy Spirit is divine person sixth, that be does not teach that man is saved through the atone ment of Christ seventh, that he rejects most of the fundamental doctrines held by the entire sisterhood of evangelical church. es. The call was issued by Rev. Messrs
 Williams, Sessions, and Beach of Chaplin, Glidden of Mansfield, Kelsey of Windham, Jones of Eastford, and Bissel of Lebanon. This trouble has been brewing some time, but Mir. Free is very popular in Williman- tic, and majority of his society will stand by him, though the church has by ma- iority vote expressed dissent. Mir. Free is not member of the complaining or any other Congregational association, and en- ters no defence but denies jurisdiction of his judges. The meeting, after full dis cussion, was in such doubt as to the jl1ris- diction that it adjourned without action. The probable result will be a division of the church, unless Mr. F. shall, in the in- terest of harmony, withdraw, which he is not likely to do.

How MANY FOXES ARE THERE IN THE STATE or CoNN. ?-At recent hearing be- fore the agricultural committee Hon. Fl. c. Robinson, In speaking on the game laws, was listened to with great interest. and the report, as printed in the Hartford Times of Feb. 17th, must have been read with great amusement by the hunters. Mir. R. talks about pot hunters. do not know whom he means but as he de- scribes them dol't think he can mean the real hunters that live among the game all the year, and that make study of the birds and their habits aud also of their enemies, the fox. hawk, and skunk.
 If bounty were compulsory ins every town, there would be plenty of game for both the real and the pot hunter, and 8 few for the little boys to snare, with the exception of such winter as this, against which there can be no laws.
 When Mir. R. says that he does not be- lieve there are 200 foxes in the state, it shows that he is not fox hunter at least, and that he is not on very close terms with one. I will make this statement, which can be proven: that within a tract of six miles square fourteen foxes have been killed ahead of one dog owned by Benja- min s. Root, and that Mir. R and his son Edward killed 12 of the 14. All of the IA were killed since Dec. 10th, within less than three months Now, taking the town of Holland as an example, how many foxes are there in the state? But that would not be fair representation, as the town of Holland has paid bounty of $2 for years, and as a natural result the foxes have been thinned out to a great extent. I have heard of flock of 23 quail since the first of January, which hawk got l track of, catching three in one day, and keeping this up until at the last heard only two were left. Query-Ought there to be bounty on hawks? B. s. Root and son shot 9 inside of week last Sep tember. A great deal has been printed about the ladies encouraging the destruc- tion of birds by their vanity in wearing birds on their hats, and the great loss of our song birds therefrom. Hawks proba- bly, destroy many more birds by getting | the young than the hunters destroy to get birds for the ladies. The entire food of hawks is flesh, and this necessarily must be small birds, and the farmers chickens. The only result of law forbidding the shooting of game birds for three years without compulsory bounty on the fox and hawk, would be to deprive the real hunter of all their sport, and portion oi their income, for the better feeding of fox. es and hawks. *** Holland, Conn. .sft.g .a.-5 .@..-.. .

Trotter, in place of the re- jected Matthew, and he has been confirmed by the senate, with but Il dissenting votes, three of whom were republicans So negro gets the place. The senators having put themselves on record as believing that resi- dent of the district should have the office, have bowed to the presidents determination to put an outsider in the place. The evident purpose to give the place to negro, and to a democratic negro, is also carried out. There is no reason why 8 competent negro should not have the place, only to our notion the man should not be selected because he is negro,
 but despite that fact. Color or race should not influence such selections. The only question should be,i the man competent American citizen? with perhaps the incidental consider ation, which ticket does he vote {?
